What We're Looking ForA security engineer to help build and operate an engineering-driven vulnerability and exposure management program, focused on turning vulnerability data into actionable signals embedded in modern engineering workflows. This role emphasizes automation, practical risk reduction, and hands-on execution across application, cloud, and infrastructure environments. It is not primarily a ticket-tracking or audit-administration role, but a technical role contributing to scalable solutions.
What You Will Do- Contribute to the design, implementation, and operation of Datavant's vulnerability and exposure management capabilities, with a focus on reducing real exploit risk.
- Build and enhance automation and workflows that ingest, normalize, and prioritize vulnerability signals across multiple sources.
- Develop and improve engineer-facing dashboards and integrations that help teams understand and act on vulnerability risk.
- Work with product and engineering teams to assess vulnerability findings, explain exploitability and impact, and support practical remediation or mitigation approaches.
- Help embed vulnerability signals into existing engineering workflows (CI/CD, PRs, backlogs) to improve visibility and adoption.
- Support validation of remediation efforts to ensure exposure is meaningfully reduced.
- Assist in translating compliance and control requirements into scalable technical implementations.
- Support FedRAMP and other assessments by validating technical evidence and remediation outcomes.
- Execute technical projects that improve vulnerability visibility, prioritization, and risk reduction.
- Contribute to improving processes, tooling, and automation within the vulnerability management program.
What You Need to Succeed- Solid technical experience in vulnerability management and application security, with hands-on exposure to assessing and prioritizing vulnerability findings.
- Demonstrated ability to build or automate technical workflows using scripting or programming languages such as Python or Go.
- Experience working with application, cloud, or container security in AWS and/or Azure environments.
- Working knowledge of security controls and compliance frameworks (e.g., NIST, CIS, FedRAMP), with the ability to apply requirements in practical engineering contexts.
- Ability to reason about exploitability, exposure, and impact beyond severity scores.
- Experience collaborating with engineering teams to support remediation efforts.
- Clear communication skills and ability to explain technical risk to varied audiences.
- Ability to operate effectively in fast-paced environments with evolving priorities.
- Foundational understanding of how vulnerability management fits within broader security and engineering functions.
- Experience with commercial security tooling (e.g., SAST, SCA, cloud security platforms) and ability to interpret tool outputs critically.
What Helps You Stand Out- Experience building custom scripts, automations, or lightweight data pipelines to improve vulnerability visibility or prioritization.
- Exposure to highly regulated environments (e.g., healthcare, FedRAMP Moderate/High) and participation in technical audit preparation.
- Experience integrating vulnerability tooling into CI/CD pipelines or engineering workflows.
- Familiarity with cloud security platforms (e.g., Wiz) or security data tooling (e.g., Snowflake, Sigma).
- Experience using AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude Code) to accelerate security automation or analysis.
